And the last ti to see what the future held, she’d seen death for her friends

Luckily, she’d been wrong about that vision Well, kind of wrong

"You shouldn’t have done that," Jude ad h--"

"No" She shook her head "They’re not They’re not strong enough for h to show that if I don’t do so"

Shit What was the surefire way to destroy a witch? The fire The old bastards during the Burning Tiht about that et her powers

Catalina straightened her shoulders "So to like where this was going Antonio hurried to Catalina’s side The skin under her eyes looked bruised Hell, she looked bruised Too pale Too fragile He almost reached for her, but he stopped and clenched his hands into fists "Where’s the va up in the ht

Jude growled

Catalina’s eyes flashed "He’s not killing anyone! He’s just drinking--"

"The way the bastard drank frootten all the details fro hunted, too He has to be at full strength"

Survivors Antonio rubbed the back of his neck The knots were building beneath the skin "Let’s start at the beginning, and let’s go real slow" Erin and Jude closed in

"First up, how the hell did you knoere down here?"

A ghost of a sured Pak knew just about everything, and he’d certainly be keeping tabs on his hunter

Antonio huffed out a breath "Look, Catalina, I’ve got a dead co-ed and--"

"Lindsey Meadows"

Right The media didn’t know the victim’s identity yet, but Catalina did

She told him, "If you check your records, you’ll see that Lindsey’s half-sister disappeared about sixperson’s report, but then she ca was fine"

He’d already checked the records He knew this Tony also knew- "I’ the sister isn’t fine"

Catalina tensed Her eyes widened an instant before the door pushed open again Zane looht at his side

"I don’t know if the sister is fine," Catalina said "She knows" There was soer there Fear

It nitor Any smart person would fear her Catalina had always struck him as the smart type

Everyone turned to look at Zane and Jana-and they waited

Kelly Thoun drawn She’d kept her eyes on the demon and tailed hih-tailed out of there Like the devil was chasing him

She could smell the blood, so she knew--

Kelly sucked in a sharp breath when she saw the body The poor guy-his throat had been sliced right open, a sick sed her nose, and she stu out her phone, she dialed her contact with a press of her fingers "Start a search for Zane Wynter and Jana Carter What? No, I don’t care what Miller said They just killed soents and the cops out to 133 Louis Avenue"

Her fault Her fault that poor kid was dead She should have struck faster

But there’d bean end to this hell

Tiht to her side

Okay, having everyone stare at her was … weird Not like she was super co down there with the dead bodies, anyway

The cop eyed Jana with a narrowed gaze Seriously suspicious eyes What else was new?

"Where’s Laura?" Catalina asked

Jana blinked "Who?"

"Laura" The witch repeated "Where is she?"

"I don’t know any Laura" Jeez Didn’t they realize as happening? Zane had called and told them about Marcus They should have been--

"She’s about five-foot-seven, and she’s got long, straight brown hair She wears glasses that are so thick-too thick And her nose is crooked," Catalina spoke with her eyes still locked on Jana, "like it’s been broken before, and she’s got a small black mole near the corner of her chin"

The description had Jana’s heart racing

Catalina said, "Tell us where she is"

Jana took a deep breath Then one more

Zane’s ar about, Cat? Look, the shifter is dead He was sliced open on ot a damn serious problem on our hands"

"Yes," the cop said "You do"

Jana realized her pal eliminated One by one" Okay, that witch’s voice was just eerie So blank So … dead

It took a minute for the words to sink in Survivors Oh, shit "You ot out of Perseus alive," Catalina said "I scryed I saw … I’ forward in a sudden burst ofher forward "Where the hell is Laura?"

"Catalina!" Zane lunged for the witch

Yeah, she didn’t need his help The day she let a witch get the best of her in a fight… That day ain’t co her now Jana slammed her forehead into Catalina’s The witch howled and those nails-into Jana’s shirt as Catalina stuot ready to punch the chick

Zane’s fingers curled around her fist "Easy" His black stare glittered at her

"I’, da her to back off Crazy witch woman was the one who needed to be controlled

We have a friend of yours

Oh, right, but he cared about the witch While she … hell, as she to him? Did she matter?

Zane turned his head and focused on Catalina "What the hell are you doing?"
